This season two of my colleagues — Steve Rivera of GOAZCATS.com and Anthony Gimino of TucsonNewsNow.com — and I will pick the outcomes of Pac-12 games. Odds listed are of the Westgate Superbook in Las Vegas. …

Colorado’s cover last night in the Buffaloes’ 27-24 loss to USC brings us scribes closer in our Pac-12 picks.

Rivera and Gimino believed the Trojans could cover the 16.5-point spread while I took USC to win but not cover against a hangry Colorado team.

Rivera’s loss means he is now 24-12-2, one game ahead of myself (23-13-2). Gimino is a close third at 21-15-2. Rivera is 16-5-2 in the last four weeks heading into today’s five games.
